Around August last year, Chinese smartphone maker, Lenovo, fresh off strong sales of its Lenovo K3 Note smartphone, claimed that it owned 30 percent of the LTE market share in India. While Lenovo also attributed the A6000 and A6000 Plus for their contribution to these numbers, the company has never denied that the K3 Note was its most successful device in India so far. While that may be so, the Lenovo K3 Note was also the end of Lenovo as a beginner smartphone maker.
It’s been a while since it acquired Motorola and phones like the Vibe S1 and Vibe K4 Note, launched after the K3 Note, finally point towards a change in Lenovo’s methodology. Even the Vibe Shot has elements that have been missing from Lenovo phones before. Where’s the flagship though? Enter, the Lenovo Vibe X3. Launched in India today, the phone looks and feels like Lenovo’s take on the Moto X Style. And that’s saying something, since the Moto X Style goes toe to toe with the new Nexus devices. Enough chatter though, here’s the review.
